Creating flower photographs for a large format print exhibition

This video was filmed over a couple of afternoons in the home studio of Art photographer Gary Heery. Gary's early carear was celebrity portraits in Hollywood and New York. He did a lot of album covers for record companies and celebrity portraits for magazines and gained International recognition in the process. Since returning to his home in Sydney, Australia, Gary has changed direction in his work and now focuses his lens on fauna and flora for Art exhibitions and books. Despite a change in direction Gary continues to employ the same love, wonder and rapport with his subject matter which enabled his early success with portrait photography. During the film Gary works on his latest series of photos which are radically different to his last series and he explains the photographic techniques he employs to get these results. Including his bespoke lighting set up and the use of the FUJIFILM GFX100 large format camera combined with 110mm Macro lens to capture the amazingly detailed images needed for his large format prints. Gary also takes us briefly through the final stages of preparation for printing at Sun Studio's in Sydney. Including the photoshop retouching through to the final test print on cotton rag paper.
